[QUOTE="evilbob, post: 6337243, member: 9789"] I'm one of the many who faded away about 3 years ago. Just wanted to come back and say, for whatever it's worth: I'm sorry! Sorry to anyone out there who still might be lurking for leaving without saying goodbye. I never thought I'd be one of the ones to just quietly drop off but that's exactly what happened. Like many, a combination of several factors came into play to cause me to drift off and then a sort of general embarrassment kept me from coming back and officially saying goodbye. Well, here it is, for me, anyway: officially good bye! Judging from the last post dates, the Pathfinder world is limping along and Living 4th has one last adventure but the other two living worlds are long dead. Even the mighty r1 hasn't been online for about two years, so you know things are low. Not sure if it's worth archiving this stuff or just letting it float off into the ether. That said, maybe now that 5.0 has started to drop, once the dust settles and the game is established, maybe a Living 5th Edition group could rise like a phoenix from the ashes; who knows. 5.0 seems to support theater of the mind a lot easier, so that might help. And certainly the product will be a flagship with lots of support going forward, and that might draw people in. Or... maybe play-by-post was just a by-product of the late 2000s / early 2010s that filled a need for a few people at that point in their lives, and now they're all older and don't have the time, and the younger folks have an easier time finding face-to-face games to play. That's sort of a better outcome, anyway. Anyway, thanks for the fun everyone! I believe this adventure has drawn to a close, at least for me. Take care! [/QUOTE]
